Half of Americans Do Not Know the President's Religion [The spin is IN.]

Yahoo! News ^ | 7/28/12 | Amy Bingham

[Slings and Arrows]

Three and a half years into President Obama's first term as president, half of Americans cannot accurately say what religion he is, according to a poll released this week.

Only 49 percent of respondents said that Obama was Christian while 17 percent inaccurately said he was Muslim. Nearly one-third of respondents said they did not know the president's religion, according to the poll released Thursday by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life.

I am. He was born a moslem, acts like a moslem, loves moslems.

That ain't pretending ROCK. That's hitting the nail on the head.

I think Zer0 is a cultural Muslim who sees his god every time he looks in a mirror.

Klein told Hannity:

“The Rev. Wright told me on tape Obama came to him and said, ‘I need some spiritual advice; I don’t know exactly who I am.’ The Rev. Wright said — and this is on tape — ‘Well, we know your Islam background and you have that, but what you need now is some coaching on Christianity.’

“And I asked the Rev. Wright, did you convert him from being a Muslim to a Christian?

“He said, ‘Well I don’t know if I could go that far but I can tell that I made it comfortable for him to accept Christianity without having to renounce his Islamic background.’”

seems the answers Americans gave are valid...we don't know what religion he has..

[ROCKLOBSTER]

That ain't pretending ROCK.

Well, I can't prove who his father is. You'll have to take him at his word....and you know what that's worth.

[himno hero]

and the 17% inaccurately see him as a muslim.... what a media crock!!! The media should be purporting the truth. Right down to Jerimiah’s relationship to Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

“he aint” no Christian.

Add in the Bell, the Farrakhans and his other racist MB pals
and stack it...

for the unknowing, uneducated ,blind, disbelieving, totally ignorant and ...

Obama is a Muslim wanabe or Wahabe.

As time goes on the evidence of this administration and Obama’s sympathies are adding up.

If it looks like a duck quacks like a duck.

The term Al-Takeyya means:

Within Islam there are certain provisions under which lying and deceiving is not simply tolerated, but actually encouraged.

“Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers; if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah, except by way of prevention that ye may guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you to remember Himself for the final goal is to Allah.” - Quran - Surah 3:28

Obama’s sympathies for Islam mounts

• The FIRST thing Obama did as a newly elected Illinois State Senator was to attempt to declare a Muslim holiday. Obama sponsored Bill SR0110 in the 90th General Assembly to declare November 1, 1997 to be Islamic Community Center Day. It did not pass.

"inaccurately said he was Muslim"

Every story about President Kardashian's religion uses some form of the word "accurate."

[American in Israel]

...while 17 percent inaccurately said he was Muslim.

"News" that tells you what to think for the brain dead among us. To be truly "accurate" you would be forced to say that Obama was a Muslim. He took on a Muslim name abandoning his "slave name", and studied Koran in a Madressa growing up. That is called "A MUSLIM".

To remain accurate you could say you don't know if he still is a Muslim or just another infidel calling himself a Christian, as Obama drops such interesting one liners like we all pray to the same god. Sorry, Allah and Krishna and the God of Abraham are not the same guy.

Because of such statements, I feel perfectly accurate saying he is NOT a Christian. I don't know what he is, but I know what he is not.

[Nevermore]

“By their fruit ye shall know them.”

[Gumdrop]

Obama is not sure what his religion is either, so why should the US citizens be certain about it???

In fact, the only people who seem to be sure are the liberal media types. Georgie Stephanopoulis had to correct Bambam about his (Obams’s) faith, when the POTUS stated clearly that his faith was Muslim. “You mean Christian, don’t you?”

Christians are known by their behavior. Obama is NOT A CHRISTIAN.

[UCANSEE2]

How come they do not have a poll like this:

Because they don't give a flying donut what you think, believe, or would even prefer to be the answers in a poll.

Notice they never (I'll probably regret having said 'never') have a poll to ask what should be on a poll.

The purpose of a poll is to produce a pre-determined outcome.

What is that, a masturbating lesbian ?

[Catsrus]

Can anyone who lies as much as zero does be a Christian?

For the answer, let’s turn to the words of Jesus - who told those who lied that they were of THEIR father - the devil.

It’s as simple as that. And, to think that 49% of Americans have no discernment is indeed a scary thing.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Gee, what a concept: "look at the evidence".

The one thing we know about Obama's religion is that he was born Muslim.

Was Obama baptized a Christian? Any evidence? I believe that it is the case, if you have a Muslim name and are baptized, you adopt a Christian name. That is why first names are traditionally called "Christian names", you know from the Bible, like Luke, John, Mark, Michael, etc. Am I wrong? Barack Hussein Obama is not a Christian name.

When and where was he baptized? Why didn't he take a Christian name? Where's the paperwork? Where's the Family Bible?

If they want to go here, there's nothing but questions.

Islam is not a religion .

Kiss my busted up, slimy, germ-infested pieces of an ancient meteorite.

It is a form of government with a constitution --->Sharia law

Yeah, and it's about a thousand pages longer than the National Health Care Bill.

It is totalitarian government hiding under the guise of religion

It's a government where everyone is kept under the 'thumb' of the government by worship of lust and bloodlust.

[UCANSEE2]

I think Zer0 is a cultural Muslim who sees his god every time he looks in a mirror.

Which is why I claim his religion is 'egotheist'.

[Slings and Arrows]

You make a strong case.

[Kickass Conservative]

Christian is not a Religion, it is a Faith.

Nobody knows Obama’s Religion because even Obama doesn't know Obama’s Religion. His only true Belief System is Socialism.

I don't know of any Christians who support Infanticide, so odds are Obama doesn't believe in or practice the Christian Faith. It is nothing but a tool, just like that overstuffed Bible President Billy Boy used to tote around every Sunday after he got caught feeding the Intern.

Christians don't believe in being envious and stealing from their Neighbors either, but We The People are ruled by a Government that promotes such beliefs with impunity.

I think Zer0 is a cultural Muslim who sees his god every time he looks in a mirror.

"Cultural Muslim". That's actually what I told the poll takers when they called.

From the article:

"Unfortunately there has been a development of a bizarre echo chamber within right wing of the political spectrum that truth and reality have failed to penetrate," said Ibrahim Hooper, communications director at Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy group. "It's a self-perpetuating, self-reinforcing delusion."

No. I answered the poll questions the way I did because Obama hasn't made clear what religion he is. Even Obama recently admitted he failed on "telling a story" well enough.
